What Can Web Apps Do With A Single Form Field?

September 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Much of the web-application attention is focused on applications that were not traditionally on the web; applications like CRMs, word-processing or spreadsheets. Yet, the Web at its finest packs a greater punch in a smaller amount of space. Google web search is the most used web app on the planet, yet it needs only a single form field to do its job. I’ve been using a few web apps that, like Google, deliver a large amount of value while only needing a few form fields, if not less, to do it. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know if you have any other simple web apps that you like.

senduit Senduit - From the creators of Tumblr. Let’s you upload a file and lets you share a private link that expires at a time in the future that you set (up to a week in the future). Great if you don’t want to send a huge file via email or are just trying to get away from using your email as a database. Not the type of app a company worried about leaks will let you use though.

trackthepack TrackThePack - TrackThePack ties in with the most common shipping services to give you tracking and keep a list of your in-transit shipments. Don’t worry about what type of tracking number you have in your hand. Just type and hit enter.

instantdomainsearch Instant Domain Search - If you still search for domain names at the registrar’s site, you need this. “This site helps you find the right domain name—as fast as you can type.” It has “saved search” functionality and let’s you do a WHOIS, make an offer and more on domain names that are taken. The best way to brainstorm for online real estate.

    I like Pandafile http://www.pandafile.com. It doesn’t have a time limit on the file link and makes it easy to get BBCode, HTML or direct link code.
